Neither FarmVille nor Candy Crush are new; the former is a simplified version of many a 4X's base-building mechanic, while the other is a puzzle game (which we've had since Tetris).

Steam is dominant because they offer the best sales. You want UPlay or Origin to compete? Tell their owners to stop being bad at selling.

There's always been a lot of this with gaming, the idea that loving games means loving something that feels like it's under attack... PC gaming under threat from console gaming, "real" console gaming under threat from Wii gaming, hardcore gaming under threat from mobile gaming. Some of that's embarrassing to think

Now playing

You're really missing the context on these jokes. For starters, Conan has used the virgin nerd joke on himself countless times. He even did a Fan Correction where he allegedly baited every single comic nerd in existence just so that he could sic a pack of jocks on them. The joke ended with one of those jocks waiting

Easy for you to say; you're a bear. The rest of us don't have your ursine constitution.

What other news reporter comedian? There are three of them in the left wing (Colbert, Stewart, Oliver). Of the three, Colbert's stance is usually that of a hardline Conservative, because his program is satirical.

Flappy Birds is actually an example of a good game. Yeah, it looked like shit, but the mechanics were simple, easy to understand, highly skill-based, and addictive as hell. It got popular because people just had to beat it, felt accomplished for getting further than anyone else, and punished you for your mistakes, not

I think your problem here is you assume that the games that aren't getting greenlit are in any way good. Perhaps if you showed an example of one such game unjustly ignored by the public?

What was the context in which Jon Stewart said "fuck you" to Norway? Because depending on the circumstances, that's either really funny, or in poor taste. Having watched enough of the Daily Show, I'm gonna assume it's the former, but again, I'm lacking context here. Maybe link a clip?

Not sure if they make the McRib differently in different countries, but I found it to be... ok. nothing spectacular, but definitely food.

And how much will that be after a year? It's always boggled me how Americans can live with services that jump in price after a year. Do you not expect to use that service after 12 months?

This site pretty much answers your question, and the answer is: it barely makes a dent on their $2,600/mo salary. Seoul really is better in terms of Internet services. The Koreans have a bigger problem with their real estate costs than with their ISPs.

Nice try, but you'll never have a career in psychological profiling. I don't even identify as a social justice warrior, you asshat. But then again, that's what you assholes are all about, right? Fighting the good fight against the "feminazis" who are out to ruin gaming. You motherfucking idiot.

No, you're not welcome. Gynophobic assholes like you are ruining gaming for everyone else. We regular humans are fine with women playing games, and aren't threatened by the whiff of vagina.

You're lying to yourself. There is no such thing as "cinematic feeling" to 30 fps, because film is 24 frames per second. 30 fps is actually a television standard. And either way, both of those frame rates can get by at such low figures because of motion blur. Ever notice how when you pause a movie while a character is

Lack of depth perception shouldn't hamper your ability to see the difference in frame rate. Have you tried shifting the videos to 720p and higher? That's the only time 60 fps kicks in.

In case you didn't notice, Velduanga was being sarcastic. He totally doesn't believe the 'cinematic look' bollocks.

I would be so into that. Make it an urban fantasy, get Neil Gaiman to write and/or direct. It'll have to be a smaller-scale film though. It might even work better as a TV show/Netflix mini-series.

There's always the current Ultimate Spider-man, Miles Morales. He's Latino and black. Maybe the rumored Spidey deal with Sony involves Marvel getting to use him instead of Peter Parker? in which case, Donald Glover for Spider-Man!
